Nottingham Private Walking Tour

There are so many good reasons to visit Nottingham either on a day trip from London by train or as part of a longer stay around the Midlands. Our private walking tour will show you all the best bits of this quite incredibly unique city. We will meet you at either Nottingham Railway Station or your hotel in Nottingham City Centre.

Of course Nottingham has a rich history with its Lacemaking and in the Industrial Revolution, even it’s football. Nottingham is home to the largest public square in the U.K.

But of course there is one man who epitomises Nottingham above all else and we will follow hot on his tails to various points in the City that are pivotal to the adventures of Robin Hood.

If you come to see Robin Hood then of course you have to visit Nottingham Castle, home of Robins nemesis, the Sheriff of Nottingham.

It’s a lot quieter here now than 900 years ago and given a bit of luck we normally get to have a good look around inside the castle without too many sword fights or encountering Sir Guy of Gisburne but perhaps I should offer that as an optional extra!

One of the most amazing things about Nottingham is that it sits upon what is known as the City of Caves with their being almost 1,000 known caves and passageways beneath the city with more being discovered every year. In our tour we will descend underground and explore the highlights, some of which were used in WW2 as public air-raid shelters

We will also explore the old Lace Market and uncover the secrets of this famous part of Nottinghams heritage. We will also learn about some of the less palatable parts of the history of Nottingham, where many of the executions took place. After all that you might be ready for a drink or a meal before heading back and so why not stop for a drink at one of the pubs with the best claim to being the oldest pub in Britain. Frequented by crusaders heading south and partially built into the rock beneath Nottingham Castle.
